Ukrainian orphans rescued by Hibs charity hope to arrive in Scotland in coming days
22.03.2022 - 20:39 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A group of 50 orphaned Ukrainian children are waiting for paperwork to be sorted so they can fly to safety in Scotland.
The children, accompanied by nine adults, are in Warsaw, Poland, where it had been hoped they would fly from yesterday.
A paperwork issue has stalled their journey, which was due to depart to Heathrow before going on to Scotland, which will be their home temporarily until it is possible to return to Dnipro in Ukraine, where they lived.

Charity Dnipro Kids has been helping the children, who left Ukraine on March 8.

Stevie said: "The kids are now at a hotel in Warsaw, they are being looked after.
"The paperwork is the issue, the flights will be booked once that's resolved."
The children will be kept together and are expected to spend a number of weeks in Callander, Perthshire, before moving to Edinburgh.

Stirling Council Chief Executive Carol Beattie said: "Dnipro Kids approached us asking for support and our staff responded quickly to help make sure the children have what they need.

"Stirling Council has a proud history of welcoming and assisting refugees.
